This motherboard works, but expect to have problems, if you can possibly avoid it then do not purchase this motherboard.
<P>
Networking works but only in half duplex mode (few sites give true 100Mb/s so less of a problem than it might be.
<P>
Built in video works but the quality is low. You MUST add SWCursor to your XFree86-4 or you'll run into problems. The video is unable to take advantage of even midrange monitors.
<P>
A Via chipset bug causes very serious hardware problems that can be avoided by running Kernel 2.4.19 (no earlier) or applying the via_mwq.patch. Using dma (hdparm -d from memory) also helps.
<P>
The bios incorrectly detects hard drive parameters for every IDE drive I've tried it with. Linux gets them all correct but it causes a number of warnings.
<P>
Other than that it works fine ;-)
